This is a common belief that phones must be listening to us because ads are so targeted, but the scary truth is they aren’t[0] because they don’t need to. They have far more effective ways of targeting ads. For example, the reason you proba

Shameless plug: if you’re looking for natural language date parsing, check out Sherlock.js - https://github.com/neilgupta/Sherlock Otherwise, definitely try native APIs first for straightforward date manipulation.

I get the feeling it’s just meant to be a nicer development experience by including more out of the box. I tried it briefly and was impressed by how easy it was, it felt like I was in another language’s ecosystem rather than the complex duc

For everyone who likes HEY’s workflow and wants to use it with Fastmail, Big Mail just launched this week and looks promising. I haven’t tried it yet (and no connection), but planning to give that combination a whirl when I have some time.

These types of posts are popular on HN and generally suggest that people are bad at realizing when a product wasn't designed for them. It's a bit like complaining that a drill should have a flat back so you can also use it as a ha

We can know _who_ voted, but not _how_ they voted. These are explicitly kept separate so that you can’t sell your vote or be persecuted for how you voted. We might know which 10 people put money in a bank, but without transaction amounts, i

The difference is that transactions at banks aren’t anonymous. If you could only see the bank’s final balance with no insight into how much each person deposited and no cash in the vaults, the bank’s reported balance would be pretty meaning
